Kurzbeschreibung
Their mission: To take out the scuds. Eight went out. Five came back. Their story had been closed in secrecy. Until now. They were British Special Forces, trained to be the best. In January 1991 a squad of eight men went behind the Iraqi lines on a top secret mission. It was called Bravo Two Zero. On command was Sergeant Andy McNab. "They are the true unsung heroes of the war." -- Lt. Col. Steven Turner, American F-15E commander. Dropped into "scud alley" carrying 210-pound packs, McNab and his men found themselves surrounded by Saddam's army. Their radios didn't work. The weather turned cold enough to freeze diesel fuel. And they had been spotted. Their only chance at survival was to fight their way to the Syrian border seventy-five miles to the northwest and swim the Euphrates river to freedom. Eight set out. Five came back. "I'll tell you who destroyed the scuds -- it was the British SAS. They were fabulous." -- John Major, British Prime Minister. This is their story. Filled with no-holds-barred detail about McNab's capture and excruciating torture, it tells of men tested beyond the limits of human endurance... and of the war you didn't see on CNN. Dirty, deadly, and fought outside the rules.
Autorenportrait
Andy McNab war als SAS-Agent weltweit an militärischen Operationen beteiligt - bis hin zum Golfkrieg. Für die englische Presse ist er der "Gulf war hero" schlechthin. Von seinen Erfahrungen handeln zwei Sachbücher, die sensationelle Bestseller wurden. "Ferngesteuert" war sein erster Roman, der in McNabs englischer Heimat auf Anhieb zum Nr.-1-Bestseller aufstieg.

This book is one of the most gripping books I have ever read. I've read quite a few military based books, from the history of the SAS to Rainbow Six, but I have to say this was the best. Right from the start, McNab's character shines through, along with the feelingn that he has for the rest of his team. The story is a mix of sadness, 8 went out, 5 came back, one shot through the head the other two dieing of exposure in a river, from humour and elation when the team first learn that they are to be dropped into "scud alley". The team, although only 8 of them, kill or put out of action over 250 Iraquis during the war after having to make a run for the Syrian border after a Shepherd boy discovers them and alerts the military. Chris Ryan, a member of the team makes the 100 mile walk, while the rest are captured and tortured, however they still do not let up their true identities, and are beaten for being suspected Israeli. This book also reaffirms the belief among many that the SAS is truly the ultimate fighting force in the world. A good all round book, a must have for any military literature fan!

Despite the fact that there are rumors whether the story is real or partial fiction, this is an incredible account of a SAS patrol during operation Desert Storm. I've made a lot of cross checking other books regarding the details of his story, even the books of authors which claim that McNab's story is fiction. And after that I find his account real.

I have read books that were written worse. So I give this book in regard to McNabs ghost writer or Co-author 1 star. But since it claims to be a memoir, it deserves none more in my opinion
The author uses a modest tone in telling the story of Patrol Bravo two Zero. I guess that is supposed to give the story more credibility. Sorry, I still dont find it convincing at all. A patrol going into the desert (!) on foot (!) to search and destroy Scuds, again on foot. So far so good, but when you read about the story of the 8 men being attacked by 2 Apc's accompanied with some truckloads of inf in the open flat ground, with only their Rucksacks as cover -- and they chase the Iraqis off, it just smells like Hollywood fiction. I strongly recommend reading Michael Ashers book , that investigates the real story behind the patrol and gives some facts that make McNabs version crumble. Others have outspoken their doubt of McNabs version, escpecially the Sergeant Major of the Regiment at that time. The book gives some insight into SAS operating routine, if you cut the crap of killing 250 Iraqi soldiers and dusting some Armor. In the end its a good example of a memoir that went fiction so that a veteran can make some good cash after retirement. Cant blame the author , but the public that so readily swallows these stories , in its desire for heroes that overcome all odds.

Realistic and fascinating
The mayor difference between Andy's books and those of auhtors like Tom Clancy is that he has seen it all. He knows how it feels to be cold and wet and hungry (and he hates it). Lesen Sie weiter...
